  1. I still can’t believe that invading a NATO country is something being seriously discussed

  2. The government should say it will help defend NATO ally Denmark if its territory is attacked.

  3. We won’t help you but we won’t stop you. I what I expect most of NATO will say with exception to Denmark who have said they will defend it knowing they won’t succeed.

  4. The world is going insane. Maybe I’m just dreaming all this shit. In which case, sorry guys.

  5. I should hope not! I would hope we’d go a hell of a lot further than just not helping!

    Sell the USA treasuries we hold, end the agreements for materiale servicing. Close the bases, and nationalise his stupid golf course.

  7. Trump says he needs to protect it against Russia/China.

    Can someone explain to him that it’s already protected by NATO?

    Ohh wait. As said by one of his close friends “Trump is functionally illiterate” (Jeffrey Epstein)

    We are also moving to put trip wire forces into greenland for the sole purpose of making it difficult for america to go in shooting and not killing uk troops to force us to respond. UK would be on denmarks side in this.

  9. Good, I’d rather stand with Denmark, the US are not our allies anymore as far as I’m concerned.

  10. Every NATO country should be saying it will come to Greenland/Denmark’s defence if the US invades.

    Trump is a fucking psychopath. Any and all reasonable world leaders need to be putting “contingency” plans in place to deal with him right now.

  11. There’s a world of difference, in both the real world and diplomatically, between ‘will not help’ and ‘will refuse assistance’.

    Is there anything the UK govt could do to stop the USA flying into their leased bases as a stopover/staging point on the way to attack Greenland?

    Britain needs to grow some balls and send over some large warships. The Monarchy is also now threatened by this disgusting orange can’t.

  13. Is that a polite way of saying we won’t come in their way to defend Greenland if they decide to press the invasion command?

    It’s astounding, absolutely astounding, that such a headline even exists. Its incredible the sequence that has occurred. Every week, consistently, for many years now, when you think ones eyebrows could not be possibly raised higher, they are!!
    Starts with some eyebrow raising stupidity about some American president being born in Kenya, and now here we are with Britain will not help USA invade Greenland!!!!!
    Fuck me drunk it’s a circus.

    I don’t think people are fully comprehending where this goes if the US invades Greenland.

    If US troops landing in Nuuk were greeted by British, French and Nordic troops there would be an interesting stand off. Would Trump order an air strike or even threaten one?

    Hopefully we won’t get to find out but the idea that European countries will just roll over and give Trump what he wants is ridiculous. All the important European powers have a thousand reasons not to do that under any circumstances.
